Description
“Is it ready yet?” The question has been asked about forty times since noon. The table is set with the good china, the cousins have been banished to the garden, and Aunt Hélène is guarding the kitchen door. At last the moment comes: the silver dome is carried in with great ceremony, lifted with a flourish, and there it is, golden and glistening. Everyone cheers. Grandpa makes a speech. The gravy goes cold. Nobody minds.
This turkey under its dome captures the warmth of the family feast. It is a charming hostess gift for whoever is cooking this year, a thank-you for the grandparents who host everyone, or a seasonal treat for a collector who decorates for each holiday. Set it on a sideboard among autumn leaves and candles, at the center of the Thanksgiving table, or on a kitchen shelf where it reminds everyone what the gathering is really about.
